I mean… is that what you want ?

There isn't a single piece of software that I use that makes me think I should upgrade my 5600. Not a single game fully utilizes it (on 1440p res)

Older hardware is fine.

As someone who didn’t see their parents throughout the school year: Kinda sucked.

I know a hardware guy that lives on a farm and uses raspberry pi for his garden hoses.

I’m pretty sure no one likes the seats that face each other. It’s just a design that allows the bus to have more seats than otherwise possible.

Busses are so packed where I live, my real issue is the city not providing more busses and not the seats facing each other

I know someone who routinely preorders games and constantly gets disappointed and never fails to preorder again.

Triple A games most of the time. You can probably guess which franchises.

I fail to see how that’s a me problem

I’m an anime person but let’s face it. People only post anime when it’s boobs or NSFW material. I got in an argument with someone over not wanting to see obvious NSFW on Lemmy when it wasn’t tagged and his argument was “they’re in a swimsuit” which btw is not sfw by any means.

I’d love an anime filter tag

This is the classic mass effect dialogue option meme where you pick a mellow option and then the MC lashes out.

A: “No.” B: “that’s a great idea”

You pick a. Then: “Why would you ever suggest that idea, that’s horrible, I want you out of my group!”

Won’t ever be because we’re in the stage where everything is marketed as much as possible.it would take a massive cultural and political shift to change that.

Not necessarily. It’s in my contract that I can take short breaks whenever and that includes looking at my phone.

Where do you work that you don’t seem to have a single shred of freedom?

I work as a software dev. I occasionally browse lemmy but I don’t “get paid to look at it”.

Ah. Yes this is the perfect excuse for when my coworkers and managers walk by.

I think you’re confusing virus and malware. Windows is malware by definition. I think according to gnu philosophy any proprietary software is malware because features are designed to make profits and not to service the end user.

Not everyone is a gamer.

Cheaters are sociopaths. Most of them pretend to be good and post clips or try to get a following until they inevitably get banned.

Every script kiddie says this same thing. There are already HvH servers. Barely anyone plays them. If a company had official HvH it would encourage cheating. Fuck cheaters…

Let’s all love lain

That is one thing they got right I guess.

I think some custom game engines have creative solutions for handling instant saving and loading. For example System Shock has save and load without any delay. But it is a fairily simplistic game at the same time.

The only reason is hardware limitation. I imagine it’s more difficult to load at any point in the game in a massive game due to how much is stored in your memory.

Let’s say you’re playing a game and there’s 6 NPCs outside and they’re doing their own thing.

If the game has a traditional save system, when you exit the save location it’s normal for these entities to rest let their position. Maybe at best their properties (maybe they were wet because of rain) are saved.

But it’s much easier to just not save any of this info and reload everything from scratch and only save your progress and location.
